Respondent

Director's FinalFindings and Orders

PREAMBLE

It is agreed by the parties hereto as follows:

I. JURISDICTION

These Directors Final Findings and Orders ("Orders") are issued to the CampbellSoup Supply Company LLC ("Respondent") pursuant to the authority vested inthe Director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency ("Ohio EPA")(collectively, the "parties") under Ohio Revised Code ("ORC") § 6111.03, 6109,and 3745.01.

II. PARTIES BOUND

These Orders shall apply to and be binding upon Respondent and its successorsin interest liable under Ohio law. No change in ownership of Respondent or theFacility (as hereinafter defined) shall in any way alter Respondent's obligationsunder these Orders.

III. DEFINITIONS

Unless otherwise stated, all terms used in these Orders shall have the samemeaning as defined in ORC Chapter 6111, and the rules promulgatedthereunder.

IV. FINDINGS

The Director of the Ohio EPA has made the following findings:

I. Respondent is the owner and operator of a heat process canned foodfacility, which produces canned soups, sauces, and juices located at 12-773 State Route 110, Napoleon, Henry County, Ohio. Campbell SoupSupply Company LLC and its associated wastewater treatment plant("WWTP") are hereinafter collectively referred to as "Facility". Wastewater

from the Facility receives treatment prior to discharge to the MaumeeRiver through the use of a 10 million gallon per day trickling filter plant anda 440 acre overland flow, land treatment system.

2. The wastewater consists of process wastewater (vegetablewashing/preparation, cookers, filling, blending), boiler house/refrigeration,storm water, and sanitary wastewater generated at offices and restrooms.The overland flow system, which consists of farm fields on which thewastewater is recycled as fertilizer, is utilized during the months of April toNovember. A portion of the Facility's process wastewater is treated onfarm fields, utilizing the overland flow method.

3. Some solids generated in the WJVTP process are processed in anaerobicdigesters and accumulated in a 295,000-gallon biosolids holding tank.Contract haulers transport a very small portion of the biosolids directlyfrom the digesters to agricultural fields for land application. Most of thebiosolids from the digesters are stored in lagoons during the year wherethey are mixed with spent lime from Respondent's water treatment plantprior to land application. Hereinafter, these Orders shall refer to themixture of biosolids and spent time in the lagoons as "biolime" and shalluse the term 'biosolids" to refer only to the biosolids that are taken directlyfrom the digesters to approved land application sites.

4. Respondent holds a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System("NPDES") permit, No. 21H00021*HD (modification effective October 1,2007, originally effective March 1, 2004). Respondent's NPDES permitexpired on July 31, 2008, but because Respondent timely submitted anapplication for renewal of its NPDES permit on January 28, 2008, theprovisions of NPDES permit No. 21H00021*HD remain in effect.

5. The permit authorized Respondent to discharge "industrial waste" and/or"other waste" and/or "sewage," as defined in ORC § 6111.01, from theFacility to the Maumee River from the following outfalls:

a. WVVTP final effluent outfall 001;

b. Storm water runoff (swale) near V-8 building outfall 002;

C. irrigation field outfalls 003-009; and

d. Storm water runoff from area in front of warehouse buildingoutfall 010.

6. The Maumee River constitutes "waters of the state" as defined by ORC §6111.01.


7. Respondent, in operating a heat process canned food facility, is subject toChapter 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations ("C.F.R."), Section 407.62.

8. Respondent, in operating a wastewater treatment plant, is subject toeffluent limitations based on water quality standards contained in OhioAdministrative Code ('OAC") Chapter 3745-1 and wasteload allocationprocedures contained in OAC Chapter 3745-2.

NPDES Permit Violations

9. Respondent was first given a monthly concentration and loading limit forfinal ouffall 001 for ammonia nitrogen in NPDES 21H00021*FD . Aschedule of compliance was included in the permit and the limits becameeffective on November 11, 2000.

10. As set forth in Attachment I, the effluent from Respondent's operationsexceeded effluent limits in its NPDES permit, including limits for ammonianitrogen on the dates listed therein. Attachment I is incorporated byreference as if fully rewritten herein.

11. Respondent submitted documentation of and/or explanation for effluentlimitation violations of its NPDES permit . on December 8, 2003, June 22,2005, February 22, 2006, June 7, 2007, July 6, 2007, November 30, 2007,June 10, 2008, July 16, 2008, October 13, 2008, January 12, 2009,February 11, 2009, June 11, 2009, July 9, 2009, September 18, 2009,December 18, 2009, December 22, 2009, January 6, 2010, May 25, 2010,June 7, 2010, July 19, 2010, August 11, 2010, August 21, 2010, October13, 2010, November 10, 2010, April 19, 2011 and June 23, 2011.

12. Ohio EPA sent Respondent notices of violation ("NOVs") for violations ofits NPDES permit effluent limitations on June 14, 2005, November 26,2007, June 5, 2009, September 3, 2009, June 3, 2010, and April 8, 2011.

13. Reports from Ohio EPA's inspections of the Facility on June 9, 2005,December 15, 2005, May 8, 2007, February 25, 2008, August 27, 2008,March 30, 2009, May 24, 2010 and March 11, 2011 discuss Respondent'sNPDES permit effluent limitation violations and efforts being taken byRespondent to address the violations. Respondent's efforts to identify andimplement solutions to the exceedances of the effluent limitations includedthe rebuilding of two trickling filters to improve organic loading capacity,retaining outside contractors to clean the aerated lagoon, installing EDIaeration diffusers to increase dissolved oxygen capacity, feeding pureoxygen to increase dissolved oxygen levels, using nitrifiers to institute bio-augmentation, using sodium biocarbonate to adjust alkalinity levels,

Campbell Soup Supply Company LLCDirectors Findings and Orders of 17

increasing chlorine feed to form chloramines, adding aeration to thechlorine contact chamber, and blending trickling filter effluent with aeratedlagoon effluent.

14. Respondent believes that the generation of additional solids in the tricklingfilters in the wastewater treatment plant, the die off of the filters microbeson the weekends, and the die-off and decay of biological material in theaeration lagoon caused the ammonia exceedances at the plant.

15. Respondent started influent monitoring at the WWTP on August 24, 2011and has collected influent data since that time.

16. On October 6, 2009, Respondent submitted Permit to Install ("PTI")application No. 728325 to upgrade the Facility's WVVTP. Ohio EPA issuedthis PTI on December 22, 2009. The upgrades proposed in Respondent'sapplication included the installation of two settling tanks, alum feed tank,and a waste sludge pump station, and the conversion of two DAF unitsinto post-aeration basins.

17. On April 12, 2010, Respondent commenced construction in accordancewith PTI No. 728325 for upgrade of its VWITP necessary to achievecompliance with NPDES permit No. 21H00021. Respondent completedconstruction of the WWTP upgrades in November 2010. The wastewatertreatment upgrades and improvements have included the addition ofsupplemental carbon on the weekends to sustain the microbes in thefilters, the installation of clarifiers after the filters to settle and removesolids to decrease ammonia generation, and the replacement of theaeration lagoon with large tanks. The Facility's effluent has complied withthe permit's effluent limitations for ammonia nitrogen since the completionof the WWTP upgrades.

18. Part II, A of Respondent's current NPDES permit requires the wastewatertreatment works to be under the supervision of an operator possessing anOhio EPA certificate with a classification of Class Ill or higher. Revisionsto OAC rule 3745-7-02 will be incorporated into Respondent's NPDESpermit renewal, which will include the reclassification of the WWTP torequire a Class IV operator at the plant for 8 hours per day, 5 days perweek. In 2006, Respondent's Class IV operator, Mike Maringer retired.Mr. Maringer oversaw operation of the Facility's WWTP, drinking watertreatment plant, wastewater spray irrigation, sludge handling andmanagement of maintenance staff. Mr. Maringer was retained asRespondent's Class IV operator through yearly contracts after hisretirement for the following hours per week for both the WWTP anddrinking water treatment plant:


August 2006- August 2007-15 hours per weekAugust 2007 - August 2008 - 20 hours per weekAugust 2008 - August 2009 - 20 hours per weekAugust 2009 - August 2010 —40 hours per weekAugust 2010 - June 2012 - 40 hours per week

Respondent did not have a Class IV operator for the drinking watertreatment plant from July to mid-August 2012. Mr. Maringer and otherClass IV operators have served as Respondent's Class IV operators forthe drinking water treatment plant for 40 hours per week since mid-August2012. Respondent has had a Class Ill wastewater operator on staff butthis operator was not actually designated by Respondent nor identified toOhio EPA as the operator of record for the wastewater treatment works.

19. On March 11, 2010, Ohio EPA sent an NOV to Respondent for failure toprovide the minimum staffing hours as required for Respondent's drinkingwater treatment plant. Respondent is required by OAC 3745-7-03(C)(1) tohave a Class IV operator overseeing the drinking water treatment plant fora minimum of 40 hours per week. To be in compliance, Ohio EPAinformed Respondent that the \MNTP and WTP must each be staffed byan appropriately certified operator for 40 hours per week. Respondentdisputed Ohio EPA's conclusion, stating that Mr. Maringer has beensupervising both the public water system and the wastewater treatmentworks for 40 hours per week.

20. Pursuant to ORC § 6111.04(C), no person to whom a permit has beenissued shall place or discharge, or cause to be placed or discharged, inany waters of the state any sewage, sludge, sludge materials, industrialwaste, or other wastes in excess of the permissive discharges specifiedunder an existing permit.

21. Pursuant to ORC § 6111.07(A), no person shall violate or fail to performany duty imposed by ORC § 6111.01 to 6111.08 or violate any order,rule, or term or condition of a permit issued or adopted by the Director ofOhio EPA pursuant to those sections. Each day of violation is a separateoffense.

Biosolids Management Violations

'22. Respondent holds a PTI (No. 03-15889) issued on October 7, 2003 thatauthorizes, among other things, the land application of biosolids from theFacility's WWTP holding tank to agricultural fields including thoseidentified as Site ID# T1229 (57.0 acres) and T1014 (50.0 acres). Theapproved plan contains the following application and record keepingrequirements.


a. The plan states that biosolids will be applied at an agronomicrate for the reasonably expected yield of the intended crop andwill at no time exceed the nitrogen requirements for the crop.The plan estimates an application rate of 19,500 gallons peracre per crop season to meet nitrogen needs of a corn,soybean, or grass hay crop. However, the appropriateapplication rates will vary from time-to-time and from field-to-field, depending on the amount of nitrogen in the latest biosolidssample and the expected yield of the intended crop.

b. The plan states that Respondent shall post signs at sites wherebiosolids are land applied-

c_ The plan states that biosolids will be surface applied andincorporated preferably within 6 hours but no later than 24 hoursafter application.

d. The plan states that soil samples shall be collected andanalyzed from each application site so that the most recentresults are not more than two years old at the time of biosolidsland application. Representative soil samples shall be collectedthat represent twenty to twenty-five acres or less of the sitebeing sampled.

e. The plan requires a monthly self-monitoring report that includesdates of biosolids application, the site(s) used, the number ofacres applied per site(s), the total gallons applied per site(s), thegallons applied per acre, the application method and equipmentused, and a biosolids analysis that reflects current status.

f. The plan requires the submittal of an annual report to Ohio EPAby January 31 of each year for the previous years biosolidsapplication.

g The plan requires Respondent to provide a nutrient value reportto the recipient and applicator of biosolids.

23. On August 21, 2009, Ohio EPA inspected Respondent's land applicationfield T1014. This inspection is documented in a follow up letter toRespondent dated September 3, 2009. As a part of its investigation, OhioEPA interviewed Respondent's contract hauler who informed Ohio EPAthat it currently and historically only used the west 20 acres of the site forbiosolids application due to typically wet conditions on the lower easternside and the proximity to a residence. Ohio EPA noted in the follow up


letter that it appeared biosolids were being applied in excess of theamount authorized in Respondent's approved PTI and prohibitedadditional land application of biosolids to site T1014. The letter requestedrecords regarding biosolids land application to be submitted to the Agencywithin three weeks.

24. On August 25, 2009, Respondent emailed Ohio EPA a number ofbiosolids land application records from April 2008 to July 2009 andweather records from February 2009 to July 2009.

25. On September 2, 2009, Respondent emailed Ohio EPA additionalbiosolids land application records from April 2004 to December 2008. Therecords indicate that site T1229 had not been used for land applicationsince November 2006. Between November 2006 and September 2009,only site Ti 014 had been used for application.

26. On September 3, 2009, Ohio EPA requested all land application recordsdocumenting the monthly land application annual applicable loading ratecalculations for biosolids (e.g. nitrogen and phosphorus) and cumulativeloading rates for T1014 and all other sites associated with land applicationof biosolids.

27. Upon review of records Respondent submitted, Ohio EPA has determinedthe following:

a. That the biosolids application records for April 2004 throughJanuary 2005 and April 2005 through December 2005 do notidentify the days of application in violation of the land applicationplan approved pursuant to PTI No. 03-15889.

Respondent's land application records indicate biosolids wereapplied on field T1 014 during the entire growing season for theyears of 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008 and through July 2009. Thistotaled 4,807,950 gallons of biosolids applied to Field TI 014.Respondent's records do not indicate whether crops were grown onfield TI 014 for the years 2004 through 2009.

b. Respondent's land application records do not contain a basis forloading rate calculations for biosolids (e.g. nitrogen andphosphorus) and cumulative loading rates.

c. To the extent that there were no crops grown on this field during theyears 2004-2009, land application of material would not provide any


agronomic benefit and therefore was a violation of Respondent'sPTI.

28. A letter dated February 4, 2010 from Respondents consultant Kevin Otteindicates soil sampling of land application site T1014 in 2008 consisted ofonly one sample per 50 acres. In accordance with the land applicationplan approved pursuant to PTI, No. 03-15889, a minimum of two soilsamples should have been collected from the field.

29. Respondent's PTI states that "the entity shall perform the proposed landapplication operation in strict accordance with the conditions given in thisapproval and with the method of operation outlined in the applicationsubmitted for this approval." The over application/misapplication ofbiosolids to the approved field is a violation of the PTI.

30. On September 23, 2009, Ohio EPA received a letter from Respondentindicating that it had discontinued the land application of biosolids byHelberg Hauling LLC on Robert Schwab's permitted ground (Sites T1229and T1014) and applications for additional land application sites would besubmitted.

31. On October 5, 2009, Respondent submitted a site authorization requestfor biosolids application on two fields.

32. On April 19, 2010, Ohio EPA met with Respondent and Respondent'sconsultant to discuss future land application site approvals andenhancements to the procedures and record keeping for the landapplication of biosolids that Respondent planned to implement. Sincethat time, Respondent maintains that it has implemented theseenhancements.

33. On May 5, 2010, Ohio EPA approved four sites for land application ofdigested biosolids from Respondent's Facility. The approval containsconditions outlined in some of the Orders below that incorporateenhancements to the procedures and record keeping for the landapplication of biosolids that Respondent proposed in April 2010.

34. The following Orders do not constitute authorization or approval of theconstruction of any physical structure or facilities, or the modification ofany existing treatment works or sewer system. Any such construction ormodification is subject to the Permit to Install requirements of ORC §6111.44 and 6111.45 and OAC Chapter 3745-42.


35. This document does not modify NPDES Permit No. 21H00021*HD. Thepurpose of this document is to address non compliance with NPDESPermit No. 21H00021 *HD and not to alter said permit.

36. Compliance with ORC Chapter 6111 is not contingent upon the availabilityor receipt of financial assistance.

37. The Director has given consideration to and based his determination on,evidence relating to the technical feasibility and economic reasonablenessof complying with these Orders and to evidence relating to conditionscalculated to result from compliance with these Orders, and its relation tothe benefits to the people of the State to be derived from such compliancein accomplishing the purposes of ORC Chapter 6111.

V. ORDERS

The Director hereby issues the following Orders:

To obtain a year of influent monitoring data, Respondent collected andanalyzed samples of the Facility's influent wastewater to the WWTPbetween August 23, 2011 and August 23, 2012 for the followingparameters at the specified sampling frequency using the analysismethods set forth below:

Within 30 days after the effective date of these Orders, Respondent shallsend the data described in this Order to Ohio EPA.

2. Respondent shall, upon the effective date of these Orders, attain anoperational level at the WWTP and meet the final effluent limitations inNPDES permit No. 21H00021. For three (3) years after the effective date


of these Orders, Respondent shall, within 30 days after Ohio EPAnotification, submit a compliance plan that includes a compliance schedulefor returning to compliance if any of the following occurs:

a. A 40% exceedance of specific pollutant limits listed in the attachedAttachment II, Exhibit A, or a 20% exceedance of a specificpollutant limit from Attachment Ii, Exhibit B, at a given dischargepoint for any two or more months of two consecutive quarters; or

b. Violation of any monthly effluent limit at a given pipe by any amountfor any four or more months of two consecutive quarters.

Upon Ohio EPA's approval of the compliance plan, Respondent shallimplement the compliance plan in accordance with the approvedschedule.

3. As soon as possible but not later than eight (8) months from the effectivedate of these Findings and Orders, Respondent shall submit to Ohio EPA,in accordance with Section X, for review and approval an operational planaddressing the critical operation controls that will be put in place to ensurethat all biosolids, biolime, and digested biomass generated or received byRespondent's Facility receives adequate storage and treatment. This planshall be designed to provide Respondent enough data, process controlgoals and target permitting dates for land application approvals tosuccessfully manage biosolids, biolime and digested biomass as well asimpacts on biosolids, biolime, and digested biomass from operationalchanges. The plan shall include the following information to the degreenecessary to achieve the objectives of this Order No. 3:

a. An engineering estimate of the current volume capacity of eachstorage lagoon;

b. The installation of gauges in the lagoons that can be used tocalculate the amount of freeboard (and thus, the remaining storagecapacity) left in the lagoons;

c. An inspection log for Facility operators to use to document and logthe amount of biosolids, biolime and digested biomass pumped toand removed from the lagoons;

d. Data collection necessary to enable management to recognizeincreases in biosolids, biolime and digested biomass generationrates and corresponding estimates for the increase in landapplication acreage needed during the summer months; and


e. Timelines necessary to ensure timely permitting for increasing anynecessary acreage for land application.

4. Respondent shall apply digested biosolids and digested biomass inaccordance with the best management practices from the United StatesDepartment of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service("USDA-N RCS") Conservation Practice Standard for NutrientManagement (Code 590) included in Attachment Ill of these Orders(except for the redacted provisions in the attachment) in addition torequirements of Respondents biosolids and digested biomassmanagement plan approved pursuant to PTI No. 03-15889 and anymodifications thereof. Respondent may follow recommendations labeled"Considerations" on pages 11 through 14 but they shall not be consideredenforceable requirements under these Orders. In addition, wheneverCode 590 identifies concentrations of phosphorus based on Bray P1 orBray-Kurtz P1 testing, those concentrations may be multiplied by 1.1333where Mehlich 3 testing is conducted. These requirements shall apply forthe land application of biosolids and digested biomass generated by theFacility on current and future approved application sites, whether theFacility or a contractor conducts the application. In cases where theapproved PTI requirement conflicts with Attachment Ill, the more stringentrequirement shall be implemented. A suggested biosolids and digestedbiomass daily land application record keeping form is included inAttachment IV. A suggested biosolids site nutrient budget record keepingform is included in Attachment V. At a minimum, the informationcontained in Attachments Ill, IV, and V must be incorporated intoRespondent's revised biosolids and digested biomass managementsystems. Respondent shall incorporate the practices in Attachment Ill intoits land application procedures.

5. By January 31 of 2013 and each subsequent year, Respondent shallsubmit to Ohio EPA, in accordance with Section X, updated maps in a GISshape file, detailing the fields that Respondent used for application ofbiosolids, biolime, and digested biomass (on its own or through contract)for the previous calendar year. Two GIS, as described herein, shape fileswill be maintained and submitted in electronic format annually.

The first GIS shape file will contain georeferenced polygons demarking thearea within a field which has the same total land application volume ofbiosolids, biolime, and digested biomass applied prior to subsequentcrop(s). Each polygon in the shape file shall not be added to the shapefile until the subsequent crop is planted and land application for theseason is complete. Each polygon shall contain the anticipated crop,actual crop planted, date planting began, calculated application rate(based on anticipated crop), basis for application rate determination (i.e.,


list limiting factor), application season start and end dates, actual volumeof biosolids, biolime, and digested biomass applied, and if the phosphateapplication rate exceeded 250 pounds per acre.

The second GIS shape file will contain georeferericed polygons,corresponding to those submitted in the first GIS shape file requiredabove, demarking the areas in the field where the crop(s) were grown.Each polygon in the shape file shall not be added to the shape file untilcrop harvest is complete.

Each polygon shall contain crop growing season start and end dates,anticipated crop, actual crop planted, actual crop yield, actual cropnutrients removed (N, P, K), next anticipated crop and next plannedbiosolids, biolime, and digested biomass application date.

6. Within six months from the effective date of these Orders, Respondent'senhanced oversight program detailed in its March 31, 2010 letter will bemodified to incorporate any of the program enhancements thatRespondent is required to meet under Order Nos. 4, 5 and 6. Theenhanced oversight program shall include the following elements:

a. Field verifications will be scheduled at least once per quarter forfields receiving digested biosolids and digested biomass during thatquarter and at least once per year for a minimum of 10% of thefields receiving biolime during that year. Verifications will includedocumentation that the crops being grown are consistent with theagronomic rate of land application of material applied on the field inquestion. Copies of field verifications will be submitted to Ohio EPAin accordance with Order No. 8 below.

b. Findings from the field verifications that are not in compliance withthe management plan approved under PTI No. 03-15889, theseOrders, or future site approvals shall result in the appropriatecorrections in land application practices or enhancements toRespondent's land application program necessary to comply withthese requirements. These - corrections or enhancements shall takeplace prior to further land application practices.

C. Respondent will include metrics to measure the success of its landapplication program. Failure to meet metric goals during fieldverifications shall trigger Respondent to increase the frequency offuture field verifications.

7. Field TI 014 shall not be used by Respondent without future approval fromOhio EPA.

The Phosphorous Index Risk Assessment Procedure (P-Risk Index) or Soil Test RiskAssessment Procedure (STRAP) must be completed when:

• Soil Test Phosphorus (STP) levels exceed the maintenance limit in the Tr i-State FertilityGuide (Extension Bulletin E-2567) for the planned crop and/or the planned phosphorusapplication rate exceeds recommended rates. (There is no agronomic reason to applynutrients when soil tests are above the maintenance plateau level)

See Appendix I at the end of this standard for an explanation of the Ohio NRCS Risk AssessmentProcedures.

A phosphorus risk assessment will not be required for fields that have a documented agronomicneed for phosphorus based on soil test phosphorus (STP) level and the Tri-State Fertility Guide(Extension Bulletin E-2567) nutrient recommendations. On organic operations, the nutrientsources and management must be consistent with the USDA's National Organic Program andmeet the requirements of this practice standard.

Areas contained within minimum application setbacks (e.g., sinkholes, wellheads, gullies, ditches,or surface inlets) must receive nutrients consistent with the setback restrictions. (See Table 4Minimum Setback Distances for the Application of Manure and other Organic By-Products at theend of this standard for setback).

Applications of irrigation water must minimize the risk of nutrient loss to surface and groundwater.

Soil pH must be maintained in a range that enhances an adequate level for crop nutrientavailability and utilization. Refer to the Tri-State Fertility Guide or the Ohio Agronomy Guide forguidance.

Soil, Manure, and Tissue Sampling and Laboratory Analyses (Testing):All Nutrients:Nutrient planning must be based on current soil, manure, and (where used as supplementalinformation) tissue test results developed in accordance with The Ohio State University guidance,or industry practice, if recognized by the university.

Current soil tests are those that are no older than 3 years or as required by State code or atshorter intervals if nutrient applications and crop yields are sufficiently variable to make nutrientstatus levels difficult to predict.

August 2012NRCS, Ohio

590-3

Soil samples for soil tests should represent 25 acres or less. Soil sampling depth for P and Kshall be 6-8 inches. Under no till conditions pH should be tested at a depth of 4 inches or less.

For precision nutrient magem-entpIans, soil samples for soil totc cheld represent 12 acres orloss for a zone-management system and 6 ocr-es or less for grid sampling. Whe-a-oeprecision nutrient management plan is being developed, soil fertility, so' ! types, cropping history,and crop managomont practoes should be takon-into oonciieration when delineating the zeRes.

Soil tests taken soon after nutrient application may produce high (inaccurate) nutrient results.

The soil and tissue tests must include analyses pertinent to monitoring or amending the annualnutrient budget, e.g., pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and sodicity (where salts are a concern), soilorganic matter, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and CEC and other nutrients wherethey are known to be crop limiting and test for nitrogen where applicable. Follow The Ohio StateUniversity guidelines regarding required sampling procedures and test methodology.

Soil samples shall be collected and prepared according to The Ohio State University guidance orstandard industry practice. Soil test analyses shall be performed by laboratories that can providethe North Central Region 13 (NCR 13) method of testing. (NCR 13 specifies extraction methodsappropriate for the Midwest conditions). Laboratories must successfully meet the requirementsand performance standards of the North American Proficiency Testing Program-PerformanceAssessment Program (NAPT-PAP) under the auspices of the Soil Science Society of America(SSSA) and NRCS.

Manure:

Nutrient values of manure, organic by-products and biosolids must be determined prior to landapplication.

Manure, organic by-products and bio-solids analyses must include, at minimum, total nitrogen(N), ammonium N, nitrate N, total phosphorus (P) as P205 , total potassium (K) as 1<20, andpercent solids, or follow The Ohio State University guidance regarding required analyses.

The uce of manure as a nutrient source is to bo- based -on at least one annual analysis of thematerial in storage pr i or to appileation. Manure, organic by products, and biosoli4s-samplocmust be ool1e6ted and analyzed at least annually from oasi-soparato storage facility, or morefrequently if needed to account for opor.atienal changes (feed management, animal type, manurehandling strategy, etc.) impaothg morure nutrient concentrations.

Nutrient Application Rates:

All Nutrients:

At a minimum, determination of nutrient application rate must be based on current soil testresults, a cropping sequence, and realistic yield goals utilizing the recommendations from the Tri-State Fertility Guide. If nutrients from manure areapp lied i n exress of agronomic neod--anNRQ5- approved nutrient risk assos&montc must be completed.

Realistic yield goals must be established based on a combination of the following,., historicalyield data (specific farm or county data if specific farm data is not available), soil productivityinformation, climatic conditions, nutrient test results, level of management, future managementconsiderations, and local research results considering comparable production conditions asavailable. Applications of all sources of nutrients, including biosolids, starter fertilizers, or pop-upfertilizers must be accounted for in the nutrient budget.

Estimates of yield response must consider factors such as poor soil quality, drainage, pH, salinity,etc., before recommendations of adequate levels of nitrogen and/or phosphorus can beestablished.

For new crops or varieties, other land grant universities, industry- demonstrated yield, andnutrient utilization information may be used until The Ohio State University information isavailable.

Develop nutrient draw-down strategies when the phosphorus risk assessment proceduresindicate a very high risk of transport. In addition to not applying additional nutrients, draw-downstrategies may include changing the rotation to crops having higher nutrient demands, removal ofcrop biomass (e.g. straw or hay), and utilizing harvested cover crops to remove nutrients from thesystem.

Lower-than-recommended nutrient application rates are permissible if the grower's objectives aremet. Participation in an Adaptive Nutrient Management on-farm trial is a good way to helpachieve yield goals while minimizing nutrient application.

Maximum Allowable Nutrient Application Rates:The maximum allowable rate of nutrient application are to be determined based on the following:

Phosphate (P 205), and potash (K20) application rates are to follow the recommended rates inthe Tri-State Fertility Guide (Extension Bulletin E-2567.-[See--Manure" section below in forlivestovk operations that produoo mre nutrients (manure) than can be utilizod by oropc.Excess potash is not to be applied in situations in which it causes unacceptable nutrientimbalances in crops or forages.

Nitrogen rates Will be based on the economic threshold models developed by PurdueUniversity or The Ohio State University. Adjust N rates for contributions from previous crops(legumes or forages), and soil organic matter.

Applications of phosphate (P20), and potash (K20) via fertilizer, manure, or other organic by-products can be made for multiple years of the rotation as long as

• no more than 500 Lbs/ac of potash (K 20) are applied in any one year.

• no more than 250 Lbs/ac of (P205) are applied in any one year.

NOTE: In cases where liquid manure exceeds 60 Lbs P205 per 1000 gallons or solidmanure exceeds 80 Lbs P205 per ton the P205 rates can be increased up to a maximum of500 Lbs P205 /acre as long as nitrogen rates for the next crop are not exceeded nor theannual limit for K20 of 500 Lbs/acre.


590-5

C am- mercual-Fortilizer:

PlanRed nutrient application rates for phospherus and potassium must not exceed -the TF b StateFertility Guide recommondationa-. Nitrogen rates will bo baood on the economic threshold modelsdeveloped by Puduo University or The Ohio State Jnivoicity

When applying fertilizer, the phosphon&-application rate can account for multiple years in thecrop rotation in one application. When such applications are made-the rate must not exceed:

• the acceptable phosphorus risk assecs-ont criteria• and rio additional phosphorus may be in the current year or any additional years

for which the &iRglo application of phosphorus is supplying nutrients.

M:inuro:

Appliotion rates for manure are to be based on the mostlimiting factor of nutrient GGnteRt1volume/woght limitation of the material.

When applying manure, the phosphorus application rate can account for multiple years in thecrop rotation in one application. When such applications are rriado, the rate must not exceed:

• the acceptable phephoruc risk assessment criteria• the recommended nitrogen application iato fai-tho current-crop• and no additional phosphorus-may be applied-in The current year or any additional yeas

for which the single application of phosphorus is supplying nutrients.

Planned nutrient applioation rates for phoopheruc and potassium should not exceed the Tri StateFertility Gu i de reoommorieations. For livestock operations that produce more nutr-ienits (manure)than can be utilized by crops and nutrient planned application rates exceed TF F State FertilityGuide recommendations, an A I RS- approved nutrient risk assessment must be completed priorto nutrient application. Nutrient application beyond agronomio flood should be viewed as a shortterm-solution and other alternatives-such as roduoing-nutrients in the manure arid/or doveopingmanure markoting strategies -should be strongly considered.

For fields receiving manure, where phosphorus risk-asaccomont results equate to:

Additional Cfitena for Li quid Manure:For liquid rnanuro, the appli€ation -rate is to be adjusted to the mast limiting factor to avedpending, surfaoe runoff, subsurface drainage (tile) discharge, the nutrient noede-af-the field, orthe nitraen or phosphoi-us nokci for-the field. The total application is riot to exceed the fieldcapacity of the uppo-a-inches of coil. See Table 1. oI-thi€-standard (Available Water Capa6ity(AWC) P-ractioal Soil Moisture Interpretations fer Various Soils Textures and Conditions toDetermine Liquid MOrIUFO Volume Applications not to exceed AWC) to determine AWC and theamount (volume) that can be applied to reach the AWC. The actual application rate shall b-sadjusted during application to avo id-pending or runoff. Bare/Crusted-soils may require cornsti llage to improve infiltration. So p Table 3, of this standard, (Determining The Most LimitingManure Applisatien Rates) to determine the most lim iting application rate factor base OR the fieldcondition and site Iimitafiono.

Additional Criteria for Nitro gen Application via Manure, Organic By-Products, and biosolids(during Summer and Fall Periods):On fields with a 'High Nitrogen Leaching Potential (rating more than 10) and with no growing

manure and other organic by-products application is to be limited to 50 Lbs/ac of Nitrogen(Ammonium N + 1/3 of the Organic N) calculated at the time of application from June to October

to limit nitrogen leaching. When a grass or legume cover crop is growing or establishedimmediately after manure application, monuro or -other organic by-products can be applied priorto October 1 at the recommended Nitrogen rate for the next non-legume crop or the nitrogenremoval rate for the next legume (maximum 150 Lbs/ac) crop

Nutrient Sources:

All Nutrients:

Nutrient sources utilized must be compatible with the application timing, tillage and plantingsystem, soil properties, crop, crop rotation, soil organic content, and local climate to minimize riskto the environment.

Nutrient Application Timing and Placement:

All Nutrients:

Timing and placement of all nutrients must correspond as closely as practical with plant nutrientuptake (utilization by crops or cover crops), and consider nutrient source, cropping systemlimitations, soil properties, weather conditions, drainage system, soil biology, and nutrient riskassessment results.

Nutrients from any source must not be surface-applied if nutrient losses offsite are likely.This precludes spreading on:• Frozen and/or snow-covered soils

and not• When the top 2 inches of soil are saturated from rainfall or snow melt.• When there is a greater than 50% chance of rainfall of more than 1/2 inch within 24 hours.

Ackitional-Ci4eria Applicable to Properly Utilize Manure o-Organio By-Preducts as a Plant NutrientSource

Manure:

Crop production activities and nutrient use offis cy teehn gl eg m es must be coordinated to takeadvantage of rninoFaliod-plant-ava i lab l e nitrogen to minimize the potential for -nitrogen lossesdue -to-enitrific ptipn or ammonia volatilization.

Additional Criteria to-PFotoot Air Qua lity by Reducing Odors, Nitrogencsions and-thaFormation of Atmocphoric Particulates

To address air quality concerns caused- by odor, nitrogen, sulfur, and/er particulate om+&sions; thesource, lim i ng,- amount, and placement of nuthents must be adjusted to m i n i m i ze the negativeimpact of these emissions-on-the onvironment and human health. One or more of the follov.ingmay be tiscd

• slow or controlled release fcrtilizors• nitritication inhibitors• urcasc inhibitors• nutrient ontancement technologies• incorporation• injoction• stabi4iod nitrogen fertilizers• residue and tillage managomont• AG till or strip till• other toohnologios- that -rninimize the impact of these emissions

Manure:

Do not apply pouftry littor, manure, or organic by products of similar I os/density when thereis a high pFebabi li ty that wind will blow the material offsito.

Ways to -minimize the impact of odors of land--app4ied manuro include:• Making application at t imes when Iemjeratures are cool and when wind direction is away

from neighbors.• If manure is spread on warm days,do-Eon the morning.• On windy -days, odors travel shorter distances before being mixed in the atmosphore-to

the point that odor is not dotooted.• Do not oproad-on caIrn, humid days unless the field is icolatoEi=• Communicate with neighbors to-Ian applications -that do not interfere with holidays or

outdoor social functions.• Injection or immodioto incorporation will minimize odors.

Spoolal Criteria for Manure Irrigation to Mirwi3ize Odors:cT Use lower precsuo nozzloc (less than 80 psi) to reduce the aerosol effects of

fine droplets.u Uce low trajectory nozzles to reduce drift..o Use Pulse Irrigation T-ochnolog to improve infiltration.

These include:• Precision Nutrient Management (590)• Conservation Crop Rotation (328)• Residue and Tillage Management (329, 345, or 346)• Controlled Traffic Farming (720)• Cover Crop (340)• Critical Area Planting (342)• Grassed Waterway (412)• Filter Strips/Areas (393)• Conservation Cover (327)1 Filter Recharge Areas (FSA CP1 and CP2)• Diversion (362)• Riparian Herbaceous Cover (390)• Riparian Forest Buffer (391)• Constructed Wetlands (656)1 Wetland Restoration (657) 1 Wetland Creation (658)• Drainage Water Management (554)• Structure for Water Control (587)• Bio-Reactors and Tile Discharge Filters

Consider application methods and timing that reduce the risk of nutrients being transported toground and surface waters, or into the atmosphere. Suggestions include:

a. Split applications of nitrogen to provide nutrients at the times of maximum crop utilization.b. Greater nitrogen efficiency for crop production and reduced leaching potential can be

obtained by applying the most of the recommended nitrogen rate for full season springplanted crops as a sidedress application.

c. Maintain adequate levels of potassium and a balance of all crop nutrients to optimizenutrient efficiencies including nitrogen

d. Avoiding winter nutrient application for spring seeded crops.e. Band applications of phosphorus near the seed row.f. Inject or incorporate nutrients with good erosion control practices to reduce surface runoff

of nutrients, especially Phosphorus.g. Applying nutrient materials uniformly to application areas or as prescribed by precision

agricultural techniques.

Considerations to Minimize Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution of Surface and Groundwater.

Use conservation practices that slow runoff, reduce erosion, and increase infiltration, e.g., filterstrip, contour farming, or contour buffer strips. These practices can also reduce the loss ofnitrates or soluble phosphorus.

Use application methods and timing strategies that reduce the risk of nutrient transport by groundand surface waters, such as:

• split applications of nitrogen to deliver nutrients during periods of maximum croputilization,

• banded applications of nitrogen and/or phosphorus to improve nutrient availability,• drainage water management to reduce nutrient discharge through drainage systems, and• incorporation of surface-applied manure or organic by-products if precipitation capable of

9 Phosphorous Soil Test Risk Assessment Procedure

....r,,.T...ij51Rik'A

Nitrogen and Phosphorous are the two nutrients most often associated with the impairment of the qualityof our groundwater and surface water. Nitrogen leaching out the root zone may enter a tile and betransported to surface water or it may leach to the groundwater. The EPA Drinking Water MaximumContaminant Level (MCL) for Nitrates is 10 mg/L. Phosphorous leachate, or runoff entering the surfacewater may contribute to excessive algae growth which may cause low oxygen levels in surface water.This in turn may impair aquatic live and adversely effect the taste of the water.

To supply the needed nutrients to achieve realistic yield goals and minimize the transport of nitrogen andphosphorous to ground and surface water the Nitrogen and Phosphorous Risk Assessment Procedureshave been developed.

The Nitrogen and Phosphorous Risk Assessment Procedures are designed to assist the planner and theproducer to identify fields or areas of a field that have varying risks of nutrient transport and assist in theplanning the land treatment and management to minimize nutrient transport and achieve productiongoals.


590-20

Nitrogen Leaching Risk Assessment

The Nitrogen Leaching index evaluates a sites risk of nitrogen leaching out of the plant root zone into tileflow or to groundwater.

The Nitrogen Leaching Index classifies soils as having a high, medium, or low nitrogen leaching potentialwith relative index ratings from 0-10+ for their potential to leach nitrates below the root zone. Theleaching potential is rated as high, medium, or low by combining the soil's hydrologic soil grouping (A, B,C, or 0), the local county's annual rainfall, and the local county's season rainfall (Oct. Ito March 1).

Phosphorous Transport Risk Assessments

Two phosphorous risk assessment options are available in Ohio for planners and producers to use toplan land treatment and management to minimize phosphorous transport and achieve production goals.The two options are (1) The Phosphorous Index and (2) the Soil Test Risk Assessment Procedure. It isthe decision of the planner and the producer as to which method is most appropriate to meet the resourceconcerns and producer objectives.

(1) Phosphorous Index (P Index) Risk Assessment ProcedureThe P Index is a procedure that combines well established factors that influence the transport ofphosphorous to surface waters. Each of the factors is evaluated based on site specific data andweighted according to its overall effect on phosphorous transport. Each of the site subvalues are addedtogether to establish an overall site rating of Low, Moderate, High, or Very High risk.

In most cases the use of the P Index will allow higher rates of phosphorous application than the Soil TestRisk Assessment Procedure. The use of the P Index should be viewed as a temporary measure untilother alternatives can be developed to utilize excess phosphorous produced on the farm.

(2) Soil Test Risk Assessment ProcedureThe Soil Test Risk Assessment Procedure establishes risk based on the soil test phosphorous level of thesoil. As soil test phosphorous levels increase, water passing over the surface more easily absorbsphosphorous and transports it in the runoff. The Soil Test Risk Assessment Procedure establishesincreasing levels of phosphorous application management as the soil test phosphorous levels increase.When soil test values for phosphorous reach Bray P1 of 150 ppm or more no additional phosphorousapplication is recommended.

The Soil Test Risk Assessment Procedure allows a more sustainable soil and water resource systembecause it establishes a maximum of 150 ppm Bray P1. By keeping soil test levels below 150 ppm BrayP1 the producer keeps more options open for future land use and treatment options. The use of the PIndex, although it may allow additional phosphorous application in the short term, will require morerestrictive land treatment and management in the future to minimize the risk of phosphorous transport.

Ohio - Nitrogen Leaching Assessment ProcedureSoils are classified as having a high, medium, or low nitrogen leaching potential with relative index ratingsfrom 0-10+ for their potential to leach nitrates below the root zone. The leaching potential is rated ashigh, medium, or low by combining the soil's hydrologic soil grouping (A, B, C, or 0), the local county'sannual rainfall, and the local county's season rainfall (Oct. 1 to March 1).

1st , determine the soils hydrological soil grouping (Found in Section II of the FOTG) - A, B, C, or D.

2 , Refer to the Table (next page) - Ohio (By County) Leaching Index Ratings for Soils byHydrologic Groups (A, B, C, D) for the respective county to determine the soils relative leachingindex rating.

(a) Soils with a rating of 0-2 have a low potential to leach nitrates below the root zone.(b) Soils with a rating of 3-10 have a medium potential to leach nitrates below the root zone(c) Soils with a rating of 10+ have a high potential to leach nitrates below the root zone.(d) All soils with s ystematic subsurface drains (tile) are rated high potential. A field is considered

subsurface (tile) drained if 1/3 or more of the field is subsurface (tiled) drained

Phosphorous Index (P Index) Assessment Procedure

Purpose:

The P Index is a planning tool designed to help identify fields or areas of fields on a farm that have ahigher or lower risk of phosphorous runoff from the application of commercial P fertilizers or from manureor other organic materials Based on the risk assessment the appropriate land treatment and nutrientapplication treatments can be planned to minimize phosphorous transport from the site.

Procedure:

Use the P Index Assessment Procedure Worksheet to determine the sites overall P Index. Use thefollowing guidance to determine each of the site's subvalues. The subvalues are added together todetermine the overall site P Index. The worksheet can be photocopied as needed. A "Field SummaryWorksheet" is also available with this procedure to record a series of site/field values for a given farm. Itcan be photocopied as needed.

1. SOIL EROSION - Sheet and rill erosion as measured by the most current version of the RevisedUniversal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) or Wind Erosion Prediction Procedure (where wind erosion isthe primary concern) in Section I of the NRCS FOTG. Determine the predicted soil loss and multiplyby (1)to determine the "soil loss" site subvalue.

RUNOFF CLASS - This represents the effect of the Hydrologic Soil Group (A, B, C, D) combinedwith the effect of slope. This factor represents the site's runoff vulnerability. Use the table below todetermine the runoff class. The runoff class is the site's subvalue.

3. CONNECTIVITY TO WATER - Defines the vulnerability of P to be transferred from the site to aperennial stream or water body. The more closely connected the runoff is from the field viaconcentrated flow (from a defined grassed waterway or surface drain) to a perennial stream or waterbody the higher the vulnerability of P transport. To determine the connectivity to water" sitesubfactor ask the question: Does concentrated flow (via a defined waterway, tile inlet, or surfacedrain) leave the site? Read the value definitions to determine the sites "connectivity to water'subvalue.

4. SOIL "P" TEST (BRAY-KURTZ P1) - The soil test procedure using the Bray P1 extraction, or otherextraction test calibrated to Bray P1, that provides an index of plant available P expressed in eitherppm or lbs/ac (ppm X 2 = lbs/ac). Determine the Bray P1 value in PPM and multiply the PPM by(0.07) to determine the "soil P test site subvalue.

5. FERTILIZER P205 APPLICATION RATE - The amount of manufactured (commercial) phosphatefertilizer applied expressed in lbs/ac of P205. To determine the site's subvalue multiply the years Pfertilizer application rate by (0.05).

6. FERTILIZER P205 APPLICATION METHOD - Defines if the phosphate (P205) fertilizer is actuallyincorporated into the soil and the time interval between application and incorporation or if the fertilizeris applied over a given amount of crop residue, Incorporation is either through direct injection withthe fertilizer application equipment or using a tillage tool operated a minimum of 3-4 inches deep toincorporate the P205 fertilizer. To determine the site's subvalue select the description that mostclosely describes the method of application. The value with that description is the site's subvalue.

7. ORGANIC P205 APPLICATION RATE - The amount of phosphate applied (expressed in lbs/ac ofP205) from manure, sludge, or other bio-solids. To determine the site's subvalue multiply the year's Pfertilizer application rate by (0.06).

ORGANIC P205 APPLICATION METHOD - Defines if the phosphate (P205) from the manure,sludge, or other bio-solids is actually incorporated into the soil, the time interval between applicationand incorporation, or if the rnanure/bio-solids are applied over a given amount of crop residue.Incorporation is either through direct injection with the application equipment or by using a tillage tooloperated a minimum of 3-4 inches deep to incorporate the manure, sludge, or other bio-solids. Todetermine the site's subvalue select the description that most closely describes the method ofapplication. The value with that description is the site's subvalue.

9. FILTER STRIP - Deduct 2 points if field runoff flows via sheet flow through a designed filter strip -minimum 33 feet wide. The filter strip must meet the NRCS FOTG Filter Strip (393) Standard criteria.It is critical that sheet flow crosses the filter strip, not concentrated flow, to credit a 2 point deduction.

Field Vulnerability for Phosphorous Loss to Surface Water

Generalized Interpretation of Phosphorous index & Management

LOW potential for P movement from the field. if farming practices are maintained atthe current level there is a low probability of an adverse impact to surface waters fromP loss. Manure or other bio-solids can be applied to meet the recommended nitrogenfor the next grass crop or nitrogen removal of the next legume crop.

MEDIUM potential for P movement from the field. The chance of organic material andnutrients getting into surface water exists. Runoff reduction practices such as buffers,setbacks, lower manure/bio-solid rates, cover crops, and crop residue practices aloneor in combination should be considered to reduce P loss impacts. Manure or otherbio-solids can be applied to meet the recommended nitrogen for the next grass crop ornitrogen removal of the next legume crop. Applications of P at the crop removal rateshould be considered.

whichever is greater can be used for application. All winter surface applications must have prior approval from the Ohio Department of Agriculture.Note (2): The first setback refers to a vegetative cover setback that must be maintained while the second refers to the total setback distance.Permanent vegetation consisting of grass, grass/legume mix, trees/shrubs, or trees/shrubs and grass/legumes, measured from top of bank.Can use a 35' non vegetative buffer for intermittent stream / ditches or surface inlets if the manure application area has at least 50% vegetation/residue cover at the time of application.Note (3): No applications during expected flooding season as reported In Appendix A, Table 2Note (4): Must have < 5 ton/ac yearly average soil loss to perform surface manure applicationsNote (5): Manure is not to be applied to cropland over 15% slope or to pastures/hayland over 20% slope unless PNIL of the following precautions are taken:

a. Immediate incorporation or injection with operations done on the contour, UNLESS the field has 80% ground cover (residue or canopy).

b. Applications are timed during periods of lower runoff and/or rainfall (May 20th - October 15th)

c. Split applications are made (separated by rainfall events) with single applications not exceeding 10 wet tons/ac or 5000 gal/ac.

d.The field is established and managed in contour strips with alternated strips in grass or legume.Note (6): Manure is not to be applied in the winter to fields with over 6% slope unless one of the following precautions are taken:

a. The field is established in grass or legume with 90% cover, or the fields has 90% or more residue cover, or the land is managed in contour strips.

b. The fields has 90% or more residue cover.c. Contour strips are used with alternate strips in grass or legume and manure is applied on alternate strips only.
